TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Then Peter began to mention all that he and the other disciples had left behind. 'We've given up everything to follow you.' he said." (Mark 10:28 NLT).
TODAY'S WORD do you know what causes God to act on your behalf? Do you know what gets His attention? God is not moved by our needs. He's not moved by whining or complaining. He's not moved by a "poor me" mentality. No, God is moved by our faith in Him. We have to be determined to stand on God's Word no matter what is going on around us.
Peter was reminding Jesus of all they had left behind, and Jesus responds that you have to be determined to follow. Remember, God promises in His Word that He will fight our battles, but understand that it's not going to happen automatically. We have to do our part. We have to dig our heels in with an attitude of faith and exercise endurance, patience, and perseverance. We have to be determined to stand strong in faith and face those challenges that come against us. Just like the scripture says, I pray that today you are strengthened with His power to exercise endurance, perseverance, and patience so that you can stand strong and be determined to take hold of every promise He has in store for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for giving me a measure of faith that grows as I receive Your Word. Today I declare that I am determined to put You first and stand on Your promises so that I can live the life of victory You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen |
| We sure love you!
